Earlier this month, Oprah gave Microsoft Surface a rave review, and since then, she’s been keeping up the positive chatter about it on Twitter. The catch? She’s been doing it with an iPad. Or at least, her social media intern has.
Twitter removed the ability for third-party clients to broadcast their use on vanilla web-Twitter earlier this year, so the contradiction went largely unnoticed until it got picked up by users of Tweetbot, which still shows that info. This wasn’t just a one time thing either; we’ve confirmed a few other glowing pro-Surface tweets have come from an iPad as well. Like these two, extolling its virtues:
Yep! Those, too, were sent via iPad. Then again, it’s not entirely her fault; even if she’d wanted to use Surface, it doesn’t have a native Twitter app. I wonder if irony is one of Oprah’s #FavouriteThings. [The Next Web]

I actually find this on imagery…. Not so much text, text looks pretty pants on the Surface, but images! The news app always have a really high quality photo for a main story and they looks superb on the Surface’s screen.
Also do Twitter not allow tweets from the People app then or something?

Obviously the keyboard is no so good that they want to type those extra 11 characters (including spaces) on it.
Cognitive Dissonance in action.
Actually it’s probably just paid corporate promotion in action.
Yeah, makes the most sense. This could be the plug MS are looking for for the Tablet.
I just hope none of my friends and family read this story, and wake on Christmas morning thinking they’ll be getting a Surface. They’ll be so disappointed when they just unwrap a box of Cadbury’s Miniature Heroes.
